Hi Blair, Contractually, you did sign a buyer representation agreement that includes compensation for buyer representation, so it's important to review the duration & terms of that agreement. The next step should be an honest conversation with your Realtor. It’s possible your agent may be open to renegotiating a part of your agreement. In most cases, having buyer representation is still in your best interest, someone to negotiate on your behalf, manage risk & apply the contract knowledge & experience needed to guide the transaction from start to finish.
